Does it need a special electrical outlet?

No. It runs on a standard 120 V household outlet, so no dedicated circuit is required.

MSPA rates it for up to six adults. The round 84-inch layout is roomier for four adults with legs stretched out.

Does it have water jets?

No. It produces air bubbles through the floor rather than directional water jets, so the massage is gentler than a jetted tub.

It can stay outside, but the inflatable walls and cover lose heat faster than a rigid tub. Expect the heater to work harder in cold weather.

The spa tub, an inflation hose, a filter cartridge, a ground mat and a cover are included. A chemical starter kit is not.

Inflation takes a few minutes with the included pump, and filling from a garden hose takes longer depending on water pressure.
